Hmm-mm-mm-mm

Let me talk to 'em

Let me talk to 'em

Let it rain

Hmm-mm-mm-mm

Let me talk to 'em

C'mon!

Shawty had them apple bottom jeans (jeans)

Boots with the fur (with the fur)

The whole club was looking at her

She hit the floor (she hit the floor)

Next thing you know

Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

Them baggy sweat pants

And the Reebok's with the straps (with the straps)

She turned around and gave that big booty a smack (hey)

She hit the floor (she hit the floor)

Next thing you know

Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

I ain't never seen nothin' that'll make me go

This crazy all night spendin' my dough

Had a million dollar vibe and a bottle to go

Them birthday cakes they stole the show

So sexual, she was flexible, professional, drinkin' X and O

Hold up, wait a minute, do I see what I think? I, whoa

Did her thing, I seen shawty get low

Ain't the same when it's up that close

Make it rain I'm makin' it snow

Work the pole I got the bank roll

I'ma say that I prefer them no clothes

I'm into that I love women exposed

She threw it back at me I gave her more

Cash ain't a problem I know where it go

She had them

Apple bottom jeans (jeans)

Boots with the fur (with the fur)

The whole club was looking at her

She hit the floor (she hit the floor)

Next thing you know

Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

Them baggy sweat pants

And the Reebok's with the straps (with the straps)

She turned around and gave that big booty a smack (hey)

She hit the floor (she hit the floor)

Next thing you know

Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

Hey, shawty what I gotta do to get you home

My jeans full of guap and they're ready for shones

Cadillacs, Maybach for the sexy groan

Patron on the rocks that'll make you moan

One stack (come on), two stacks (come on), three stacks (come on)

Now that's three grand

What you think I'm playing? Baby girl, I'm the man

I'll bend the rubber bands

That's what I told her, her legs on my shoulder

I knew it was over

That Henny and Cola got me like a soldier

She ready for Rover, I couldn't control her

So lucky, oh, me, I was just like a clover

Shawty was hot like a toaster

Sorry but I had to fold her

Like a pornography poster

She showed her

Apple bottom jeans (jeans)

Boots with the fur (with the fur)

The whole club was looking at her

She hit the floor (she hit the floor)

Next thing you know

Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

Them baggy sweat pants

And the Reebok's with the straps (with the straps)

She turned around and gave that big booty a smack (hey)

She hit the floor (she hit the floor)

Next thing you know

Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

Whoa, shawty, yeah, she was worth the money

Lil' mama took my cash

And I ain't want it back

The way she bent that back

Got all them paper stacks

Tattoo above her crack

I had to handle that

I was on it, sexy woman

Let me show it make me want it

Two in the morning I'm zonin'

Them Rosé bottles foamin'

She wouldn't stop, made it drop

Shawty did that pop and lock

Had to break her off that guap

Girl was fine just like my Glock

Apple bottom jeans (jeans)

Boots with the fur (with the fur)

The whole club was looking at her

She hit the floor (she hit the floor)

Next thing you know

Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

Them baggy sweat pants

And the Reebok's with the straps (with the straps)

She turned around and gave that big booty a smack (hey)

She hit the floor (she hit the floor)

Next thing you know

Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

C'mon

Key Grammar Structures

• Let me talk to 'em

  ➔ Imperative with “let + object + base verb”

  ➔ “let” is used to ask for permission or request, followed by the object “me” and the base verb “talk”.

• She hit the floor

  ➔ Simple past of an irregular verb (hit = hit)

  ➔ The verb “hit” does not change form in the past tense: “She **hit** the floor.”

• The whole club was looking at her

  ➔ Past continuous (was looking)

  ➔ “was looking” shows an action in progress at a specific past moment: “The club **was looking** at her.”

• Next thing you know

  ➔ Idiomatic discourse marker

  ➔ The phrase “Next thing you know” introduces a sudden change: “Next thing you **know**, she got low.”

• I ain't never seen nothin' that'll make me go

  ➔ Double negative (informal)

  ➔ The negatives “ain’t” and “never” combine for emphasis: “I **ain’t never** seen …”.

• I'ma say that I prefer them no clothes

  ➔ Colloquial contraction of “I am going to” (be going to future)

  ➔ “I’ma” = “I am going to”, used to express an intention: “I’ma **say** that …”.

• She turned around and gave that big booty a smack

  ➔ Coordinating conjunction “and” + double‑object verb pattern

  ➔ Two actions are linked by “and”: “She **turned** around **and** **gave** that big booty **a smack**.” The verb “give” takes a direct object (“a smack”) and an indirect object (“that big booty”).

• Now that's three grand

  ➔ Contraction “that’s” = “that is” (demonstrative + verb)

  ➔ “That’s” combines “that” + “is”. It points to a specific amount: “Now **that’s** three grand.”
